Due On Sale Clause About to Become More Common?

We haven't seen that many due on sale clauses being enforced by lenders over the past decade or so. At the same time, we're seeing some gurus selling strategies like subto as if there is no risk of triggering a DOSC. More and more investors are looking to assume low-interest loans rather than deal with reduced cashflow thanks to today's interest rates. It was before my time, but my understanding is that triggering a DOSC was more common in the 80's during a similar rising interest rate environment like we find ourselves in now.  Lenders are probably more likely to enforce their right to call the loan if they feel their security is at risk in the hands of an unvetted buyer, or they believe they can make more money if the buyer applies for a new loan. It seems like it is becoming good business for lenders to start enforcing (they may actually also benefit by getting these 2-3% interest loans off their books). Are we about to see an uptick in due on sale clause enforcement? Curious to hear what some lenders and folks who have been around a minute think about this...

    We have had the due on sale clause called 4 times this month... but knowing your way around it is crucial. Either A: revert to a lease option with the option price being the mortgage balance when the option is executed... or B: Use an executory contract instead of SubTo. Land Contract. Contract for Deed. Agreement for Sale etc. I talk about this on my youtube channel.
